If you are up for a challenge and know some blue words, you could install a power antenna and no one will ever be able to break it again. Of course, Trixie will have to find a new place to "hang out". I installed one in my '90 years ago, and it worked great until the tape inside broke. Found exact replacement at Checker. Replacement for the whole antenna, that is, impossible to find the repair part. But, it does involve cutting of sheet metal, drilling, running wires, band-aids, etc. And my radio had a connection for a power antenna, so it is all automatic. Well, OTOH, maybe sticking with a manual one is best, and as Rob said remove the ash tray and instrument cluster for better access. Jerry
